Too Blessed to be Stressed: A New Year Has Begun ...

For our quilters' guild, that is. How fast this past year has flown by. I have learned much in my year as Co-President of our guild and feel ready and confident to take over the reins as President. I have a wonderful team of officers serving on the executive committee with me and feel their support which, of course, builds up my confidence. Onwards and upwards!

Traci, my daughter, organized a family barbeque and swimming party at her home yesterday and another daughter. Jennie, and I celebrated our birthdays together there. It was a wonderful day and I loved seeing all of the family ... wow ... what a large gathering we make!

Great news speaking of our family's numbers ... daughter Jennie is expecting her fourth baby! Yes, that's right ... we will be the very happy and proud Nana and Poppa of 9 beautiful grandkidlets! How fun is that!

We have been home from the rv for about 2 weeks now and have a week left before we head out again ... this time to Sunshine Valley and then onto Camperland in Bridal Falls. The grandkiddies will be taking turns on coming up to stay for a couple of days with Nana and Poppa. The waterslides are there in Bridal Falls too so that is always great fun for the kiddies, amongst all the other mischief we get into!

We enjoyed having Emma and Lauryn over a few days ago and we had so much fun together as you can see ...
